The last several weeks at The Gathering we've been working our way through the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 5-7. The discussion has been quite good and the questions have been honest. Jesus is making some folks, including me, a little uncomfortable with his bold preaching! Hallelujah, your kingdom come, LORD!

All We Are Saying, Is Give Peace a Chance!
This is not a new idea...
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children . . . Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron."
-Dwight D Eisenhower, April 16, 1953, from "The Chance for Peace" address delivered before the American Society of Newspaper Editors

BOYCOTT BEIJING!
I've decided to boycott the Beijing Olympics. I could try to be spiritual and call it a fast, but actually I'm just so disappointed with the IOC and so upset over China's ongoing human rights travesty and their international meddling and empire-building that I'm just boycotting. SAVE DARFUR!
